Anonymous Coward User ID: 54504101 United States 06/29/2020 10:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone know if its the real deal? Im 24 and my eyes are horrible. My left eye just randomly lost half its vision even with newer perscription glasses and contacts. I dont care if i gotta get it redone every 10 or 20 years i just want to be able to see normal. Can it really blind you on the first surgery? Who has some real knowledge on it? Im afraid i might go fully blind one day if i dont do something.

James-XF User ID: 78936526 United States 06/29/2020 11:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had Lasik in 2011. I was horribly nearsighted - blind as a bat really. So bad that they had to correct one eye for distance and the other, separately for close up vision. I lost stereo vision ability and a little depth perception - but it was so worth it. Eyes hurt afterwards & had to have someone else drive me home, but was 100% fine the next morning. I can't imagine being in a SHTF situation being that blind without glasses, which is exactly why I had the Lasik. Now, 9 years later, I do need a tuneup but can't afford it. Like most people, I have gotten a little bit farsighted as I age. I now need drugstore reading glasses to work on the computer and read the fine print on labels, but am otherwise fine with no specs. I have a half dozen in different strengths stockpiled, in case they become hard to get or completely unavailable in the future. 'bout time to hoist that ole black flag... |

I feel it's successful for the majority of people. People are experiencing a clear 20/20 vision just after the surgery. I think it's the perfect way to restore your lost near vision. But certain criteria have to be met. Like you've to be at least 18 (21?) years of age, your eye prescription should be stable for the last one or two years, overall health should be alright without being caught with other diseases, etc. Someone who'd LASIK recently asked me to check this place if somebody's considering undergoing LASIK.
